Besides the dress, I think one of the most important wedding decisions is the wedding cake. ย Everyone wants to see it. ย Everyone wants to taste it. ย Everyone wants to watch the bride and groom smoosh it into each other’s faces.
When my daughter asked me to make her wedding cake, I told her yes, but with conditions. ย (Not like I was busy with every other detail of the big day….) ย First condition was that it all had to be one flavor of cake and frosting, white. ย I didn’t have time for 4 different cakes with 4 different frostings!!! ย The second condition was that we had to come up with a way to decorate it that was quick and simple.
So how much cake did I end up making? ย The cake was 4 double layered cakes: ย 15 inch on bottom, then 12 inch, then 9 inch and finally a 6 inch on top for the bride and groom. ย For 150 people, there was plenty of cake and we brought home about half of the bottom 15 inch layer.
So where did I get all my cake making and decorating supplies? ย Amazon. ย The cake pans, the cardboard discs under each layer, the rhinestone banding, the snowflake brooch and the clear decorating sugar crystals all came from Amazon. ย I live in the middle of nowhere, so Amazon was my cake supply store!
The cake was both beautiful and delicious! You did a marvelous job!! And ps it was fun watching Tori smash it in Alex’s face!
Beautiful cake. Beautiful bride. Congratulations! I hope you will show us more wedding photos.
Best wedding cake I have ever had!
Wow! So impressed with your talent! That is just so shiny and gorgeous!
Such a beautiful cake! You are so talented.
This is so beautiful in its simplicity! I love using fondant!
Where can I find the recipe for the cake?
Thanks for your question Rob but that is one recipe I don’t publish. I’m sorry.
How early in advance can I assemble the cake? I’d like to have it finished in the fridge at least two if not three days before, but I don’t want to dry out the cake! Thanks!
If you are covering your cake in fondant, it will be fine for a few days because the fondant does a great job protecting the cake from air. I would be cautious with fondant in the fridge because it can make it a bit moist.
Hi, that looks wonderful. I was wondering about the rhinestones. My bride to be just showed me some and i was wondering if yours was edible? Could i make an edible kind in isomalt? They want everything edible. Thanks!
Thanks for your question Melanie. Mine were not edible. I know you can make some with isomalt but I have never done that before. Good luck!
